That was a great explaination. I printed that one out to save it.
That is what I thought. DNS was suppose to take care of it. So, now I
know DNS doesn't take care of everything.
Without my host name in the /etc/hosts file, Oracle, running on that
machine, apparently couldn't connect it itself. 127.0.0.1 was there,
but not my 192.168.193.231 address.
I am going to update my notes so that the hosts file is updated to
include the host info for that machine. (I'll let DNS handle the
rest.)
If Oracle really requires that, it's broken. This implies it's not using
system libraries to resolve names and/or addresses. If everything else
works, the Oracle damned well should.
I'd be looking closely before deciding that this is true, but then maybe
you have.
